The past few days have been good for the soul--good for my clan. We have been sleeping to the sound of the river, playing in the river, fishing in the river and sitting in the river. Parts of this river bed are composed of large, perfectly flat pieces of stone, so our camp chairs rest comfortably in about 6 inches of water. Crayfish, frogs and trout. Water stryders. Happy girl, happy dad, happy dogs.
